- I grew up in the near north suburbs of Chicago, Half of me was a nerdy introvert and the other half, a popular party girl and performer. Still am a nerd. Still am a performer.
Until 2002, my money earning career was neuroscience research and teaching. In 1988 I moved towards science policy and management. Meanwhile, I often managed to study dance and violin/ viola, and to perform in school, college, and community theater productions and to play in a piano quartet and a chamber orchestra.
In Los Angeles, I did many student films, and then progressed to being cast in SAG/AFTRA projects and joining SAG/AFTRA. I was eventually represented by an excellent boutique agency. Thanks to their ethical, hard-working representation, I was able to learn so much by working with excellent directors and generous 'name' actors. I loved it.
My lifeline has not been a straight line, but I am so happy now to be here, looking for the work that I enjoy doing from here to the moon and back.
I hope something on this site touches you. That's what matters, right?
